LETTER: Health authority needs watching, says Cape Breton MLA

Last week’s events once again remind Cape Bretoners that we need to keep our eye on the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA).

While the NSHA has admitted that there will be three fewer doctors coming to Cape Breton than they initially said, it took a local doctor speaking out to get the right information.

I know first-hand about the hard-working people in our health care system, including the people working at the health authority and I want to thank the many people within the system trying their best to make sure Cape Breton gets the doctors we need.

But last week’s errors show that we still need to keep a close eye on public announcements made by provincial health authority management in Halifax.
